Episode 22 recap: "Zhao Ruoqi proved her innocence.
Zhao Ruoqi woke up and was brought here. The Second Princess shouted that Zhao Ruoqi had killed their eldest princess for the sake of a bracelet. The prince demanded that the saint provide an explanation, or else they would send their army to attack. The saint stated that if Zhao Ruoqi had truly killed their princess, she would naturally be punished, but the matter had not been clarified yet, and they couldn't come to a conclusion so quickly. They asked Zhao Ruoqi to explain.
Zhao Ruoqi asked the celestial official what was going on and saw the scenes from before. She stated that it was the Second Princess who had killed the eldest princess, as the curved blade matched Lan Yue's style, and she could not have used such a weapon. Zhao Ruoqi mentioned that the murder weapon was a dagger belonging to the Second Princess, which was currently hidden in her clothing. Princess Xuan went to the Second Princess and indeed found the dagger.
The saint expressed that if the prince couldn't even figure out his own family affairs, how could he discuss matters of the nation? They ordered the prince and princess to be taken away. The prince asked the saint if they were going to start a war and urged them to think it over. However, the saint ignored him and had them taken away. Zhao Ruoqi said she still had something to say, as she found the style of the dagger very familiar. Suddenly, the saint had a headache, and the queen ordered them to take the saint away to rest.
The queen stated that Zhao Ruoqi had been busy for so long and must be tired, so she should rest in the side hall first. They ordered someone to take Zhao Ruoqi away."
